It’s finally that time of year again to renew a classic 鶹ýӳtradition and have some good old-fashioned fun.

On Dec. 2 the Robson Square ice rink will open once more to the public after a year-long hiatus. The best part? It only costs the skates on your feet. This year the rink will feature an all-new skate rental complete with a skate dryer as well as a heated outdoor patio. There’s also a new café at the rink to complete the night with a cup of hot chocolate.
